in part because of a tax like the most recently who's the rebels from yemen, have been targeting commercial ships in the red sea. those attacks have been so intense that they changed global trade routes. many ships are now avoiding the red sea altogether and taking this much longer route to get to europe. along with russia, china reportedly even struck a deal with the goofiest to avoid their ships being hit. the un says disruptions to trade in general are increasing all over the world. a worry, especially for the chinese the country is not only a big ex border, but also needs to import resources like oil and minerals to keep its economy running. there is a, there is a risk to china, off of the disruption of that network, and that, that would really cause significant problems for their economic models. and political rivalries could also lead to disruption. there is this perception in china that they're vulnerable to uh, to us sanctions, to us naval introduction, to other us efforts alongside allies, to essentially cut china out of the global trading system. so it's no surprise the giant cont

war with notjust hamas in gaza, but hezbollah in lebanon, and exchanging blows with the houthis in yemenermittently with iran as well. so this conference is aiming to try and do two things. they're trying to get a ceasefire in both lebanon and gaza, and also to try and find or push forward plans for a palestinian state. i think reaching some kind of consensus isn't going to be that easy. usually the final communique is always a little bit of a fudge, because you've got to try and match everybody�*s aspirations, and not everybody agrees here. you've got countries that have got full diplomatic relations with israel like the uae, bahrain, morocco, sudan, jordan, egypt. and then you've got countries like iran and algeria and others which are very much opposed to israel and don't see really the point in countries making peace with it if it is waging war on other countries. overshadowing all of this, of course, is the news that donald trump is going to have a second term in the white house, and there's a lot of expectation, hopes, optimism and trepidation about that. he's a firm friend of isra

is seeing proxies across the region being targeted not only here in lebanon, but also in syria, in yemen by iran, backed by iran have been carrying out attacks against israel. i think there is also obviously the big question about hezbollah's future. it is now diminished and it is still extreme the powerful because of the support that it has especially among the shia muslims in the country. but there is fear that the next chapter in this country could include more internal violence. we've seen those reports suggesting that hezbollah has agreed to withdraw its positions from the south of the country, and i think a lot of people here will see this is still humiliating for hezbollah. they were seen as a major threat by the israeli government, and now they've been extremely weekend. this is a major victory for israel because they've managed to degrade hezbollah very significant leak, but now as part of this deal — not the lebanese authority deals, but kind of a side deal with the americans — they have the recognition of this right to be able to attack lebanon if there is any kind of violatio

you cannot take out the leadership or economic infrastructure and you could not hit an iranian in yemen. but then the israelis went and took out some of the leadership. i have it on pretty good authority and it stands to reason that this would have been the case. that the israelis notified the americans that they would do this and they did not get a red light. and now, in this negotiation that went on, the complex negotiation between israel and washington about the israeli counterattack against iran after the most recent ballistic missile barrage, the americans and the british carried out an attack against the houthis. it was much more significant than any of the previous ones and they hit an underground target. i do not know what it was. it was clearly american, and british messaging not just against the houthis, but against the iranians. again, within this de-escalation framework, they realize that they could not restrain the israelis from hitting the iranians so they tried to shape the israeli response to be as light as possible. and then they wanted to deter the iranians from hittin
